Hi 

How much is the cost of a fit to fly test for returning to the uk and where can I get one in Benidorm

Websites a bit confusing

Hi Swampie,

The IMED hospital does them - either €40 for an Antigen test, or €110 for a PCR, and you can book an appointment online:

The clinic next door to the WOK Chinese restaurant will do the test for €19.  You will need to book as I've seen queues forming outside recently.

Is the 19  € good for fit to fly or is that the one that they won’t  accept

Thankyou


it works out expensive there’s  myself and 3 kids 

Tests both ways. Best  part of 850 quid 

Nearly the same cost as the 4 day break

I think that's the point, Swampie, they don't want us travelling! 🤫

Hi Swampie,

It varies, depending on which UK country you're returning to: for example, an Antigen test is sufficient for England, so long as you've been fully vaccinated in the UK, but if you're returning to Wales, it has to be the PCR test.  

And these are the current rules - which could change with less than 3 days notice if the UK's change on Friday, regarding travel to France, is anything to go by 🤔

Kind regards,

Kim
